It is estimated that the UK disposes of around 2 million CRT-based televisions each year plus an additional quantity of CRT-based monitors, generating in the region of 100 000 tonnes of CRT glass per year. Consequently, there are large numbers of CRTs which need treatment and yet which contain a number of hazardous materials. CRTs contain a range of hazardous materials including a 32 Figure 8 Martin Goosey Table lamps made using recycled PCBs. ) Introduction and Overview 33 number of potential carcinogens such as lead, barium, phosphors and other heavy metals including cadmium and mercury.
Most notable among these are clocks, coasters, aluminium-framed briefcases with panels made of circuit boards and ring binders whose sides are also circuit boards. The British company Ecotopia offers a range of such products made out of recycled printed circuit boards, examples of which are shown in Figure 7. Another small company was recently advertising lampshades by the French designer Luc Gensollen that were made from end-of-life and reject circuit boards; see examples in Figure 8. However, while these more unusual applications for end-of-life electronics and their materials are undoubtedly interesting, they are unlikely to have any major impact on treating the total volume of WEEE being produced around the world.
Although the houses were remote from the solder-recovery works themselves, levels of copper, lead, tin, antimony and, to a lesser degree, cadmium were higher in the dusts from the two solder-workers’ houses than in the single control house sampled. These results illustrate the need for careful control procedures to be put in place in order to prevent the possibility of exposure to harmful materials from WEEE in the homes of recycling workers. 12 Future Factors That May Influence Electronic Waste Management It is fairly certain that over the next ten years Europe and the rest of the world will have to be far more aware of their material and energy resource consumption.
